Abstrait:

The objective of this research was to explore the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of reinforced concrete beams (RC beams) strengthened with near-surface mounted (NSM) glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. This study focused on evaluating the effect of various factors on the load-deflection response and failure patterns of RC beams, including pre-existing damage, end anchorage, bar length, bar number, and the condition of concrete cover. The tested RC beams were divided into three groups. The first group included undamaged and damaged control beams. The second group involved the strengthening of beams after inducing damage, with variations in bar length, number, and cross-sectional area. This group also included beams strengthened by GFRP bars with and without anchors. In the third group, the effects of different cover materials, cover bonding techniques, and anchor bolts on the strengthening bars were examined. The results of the experiment indicated a notable decrease in both cracking and maximum load capacity for beams that were pre-damaged. The inclusion of anchor bolts appeared to have a noticeable effect, enhancing the load-carrying capacity and reducing mid-span deflection. Opting for two bars proved to be more effective than using three bars, leading to a higher maximum load and improved ductility. Moreover, prioritizing the bonding of the concrete cover at the end of the bars was found to be more important than bonding in the area of maximum moment.
